Sperm DNA quality in first or second IVF or ICSI cycles
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at sperm DNA health in men having their first or second round of IVF or ICSI. The goal is to learn more about how sperm quality might affect fertility treatment success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You and your partner are just starting your first or second IVF or ICSI treatment.
- You are a man in the couple seeking fertility treatment.
- Your sperm count is not too low for the test (very low counts may not work).
- Your sperm will be collected in the usual way, not through surgery.
- You are willing to participate in a study about sperm DNA quality.

This study examines how DNA damage in sperm affects fertility treatment outcomes in couples using ICSI (a procedure that injects a single sperm into an egg). By measuring sperm DNA quality, researchers hope to better predict which couples will have success with their fertility treatment.
This study looks at how the father's age might affect the growth of embryos in the lab. It is for couples doing their first IVF cycle, planning to test embryos for genetic health before freezing them, and then transferring one healthy embryo.
This trial compares two ways of preparing sperm to see which leads to healthier embryos. It may help couples where the female partner is 18–34 years old and the male has enough sperm.
This trial tests whether a daily food supplement (with myo-inositol, N-acetyl-cysteine, zinc, and vitamins) can reduce sperm DNA damage. It enrolls men with higher-than-normal sperm DNA fragmentation, and it checks semen health during the study.
This study looks at a protein in sperm called phospholipase C zeta, which helps eggs develop after fertilization. It aims to see if measuring this protein can predict how well a couple will do with fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI.
This trial tests a new AI system that analyzes sperm to predict how well they might work in fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI. It aims to help doctors choose the best sperm for a successful pregnancy.
